ounded so good I'm going to embrace it as my own. There is a reason that recent immigrants are less likely to do a crime. You're not going to like it. Here's a reason that recent immigrants are less likely to do crime. You ready for it? Because they're more likely to be employed, married with children, and in good health. Oh no no no no no no no. Is that true? Is it true recent immigrants are more likely to be employed, married with children, and in good health? Because those things are very predictive that you're not going to do a crime. I think these are true. You know, anecdotally it's true. Every time I think of something in my own life who came, was born in another country, they're married, they're employed, they have children and they go to church. Damn it. Damn it. They're Republicans.

Let me say it the fast way. Yes, the reason that recent immigrants do not commit as many crimes is because they're Republicans. They don't know they're Republicans. They just act like it. Get a job, get married, have kids, go to church. Republicans.

So if I said to you immigrants tend to be Republicans with all that comes with it — getting jobs and getting married and staying out of jail — that's easy. That's easy to accept, isn't it? If I tell you that immigrants don't have a high crime rate your first reaction is, it's not the rate I'm looking at. I'm looking at 29,000 people in jail for murder and rape. But if I told you we brought in a million people who are basically Republicans and I say whoa whoa whoa a million people what about all the crime? And then I say yes there's definitely crime because any group of people would have extra crime but they're essentially the same rate of crime as Republicans. And then what do I do? What do I do then?

Because let's say I'm a Republican and I like Republicans and I agree that they don't do a lot of crime anyway. So as I often say, if somebody tells you the raw number of something and doesn't tell you the percentage they are a propagandist. That's brainwashing and they're not trying to tell you something useful. Likewise if they tell you the percentage but not the raw number they are propagandists. They're trying to brainwash you. They're not trying to have an honest conversation. You need to look at both every time or you don't know anything.

And I think it can be 100% true that on average we're bringing in a pretty high class of people at least in terms of cultural compatibility with America. At the same time we're bringing in a whole bunch of criminals. They can both be true. We simply have to do a better job of everything that we're already doing and I think everybody agrees with that.
